Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/lipis/flag-icons/issues/461
The US flag design is bad: the navy rectangle on the top left takes almost 2/3 of the width, while it should take only about one third.
@Findus23 commented on GitHub (May 31, 2018):
It looks like https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_United_States.svg cropped on the right side (to fit 4x3) and with slightly different colours.
@gkzsolt commented on GitHub (May 31, 2018):
@Findus23, thank you for the link ! That's awesome :-)
@lipis commented on GitHub (Jun 12, 2018):
We could fix the colors but it will be tricky to shrink the Navy rectangle..
@gkzsolt commented on GitHub (Jun 12, 2018):
Can't you just replace the flag with the one on wikimedia, pointed to by @Findus23 ? I've done this in our project. Unfortunately I don't speak SVG.
@lipis commented on GitHub (Jun 13, 2018):
Well all the flags here are either 4x3 and 1x1.. what do you mean replace it?
@gkzsolt commented on GitHub (Jun 14, 2018):
Well, I have not checked the exact aspect ratio of the flag on wikimedia. In our project we needed round flags, what I produced creating a pixel image for the flag (from the 1x1 collection, and the wikimedia US flag), then manipulating it with imagemagick apps. The result being icons, it didn't matter too much that the US flag was shrank horizontally. But I admit that it can count in other use cases. Anyway, it may be worth to look at the SVG from wikimedia: it might be easier to change...
